This morning I found a very small snapping turtle, it cant be more than one inch long, crawling across my street. I am in the middle of a residential area, and I have no idea where it could possibly have come from. What do you think I should do? Should I keep him, or try and release him into the wild as soon as I get a chance to go up to a place suitable for him to live? Until then, how should I keep him? What do I feed him? How big will he get? Sorry for all the questions. By the way I'm in Iowa, so winter is coming up....not sure how snapping turtles deal with that. Thanks ahead of time.
